I used to make them the old fashioned way, by boiling water, adding sugar, letting it cool, mashing the mint & fresh lime & then mixing all ingredients in a glass on ice. But after hosting a Cinco de Mayo party & slaving over this concoction I knew that there just had to be a better way.
I decided to give the short cut version a shot & it came out delicious! One part White Rum, 2 parts homemade Lemonade, one part Sprite, the juice of half a lime & 6 mint leaves finely chopped. Pour in a glass w/a twig of mint, 2 ice cubes & top with a wedge of lime.
Whoever thinks that's cheating, feel free to knock yourself out. I prefer mingling to mixing! ;)
